Bachelor of Science in Architecture

The undergraduate pre-professional Bachelor of Science in
Architecture (BS Arch) introduces concepts and skills upon which
graduate accredited professional Master of Architecture (MArch)
studies are based.

BS Arch students are educated in design, construction
technologies, digital arts, the humanities, social sciences, and
aesthetic expression. Goals of the BS Arch include introducing
architecture as a profession and a way of understanding our natural
and built environments.

It allows students to complete all prerequisites for eligibility
to enter a two-year accredited professional master of architecture
(MArch degree) program. The University at Buffalo is the only
campus in the State University of New York system to offer the
accredited professional master of architecture (MArch)
degree.

The pre-professional architecture degree, on its own, is useful
for those who desire a foundation in the field of architecture as
preparation for either continued education in an accredited
professional Master of Architecture (MArch) degree program or
employment options in architecture-related areas.

The four-year pre-professional bachelor of science in
architecture, without the accredited first professional master of
architecture degree, is not accredited by the National
Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). Read

Architecture.
